Elf Yourself!

Although I am not one to play games or chat online all day, I found one website that could distract me for hours, Elf Yourself.

Among the turkey, stuffing, corn, sweet potatoes, and the other Thanksgiving “lets stuff ourselves for a day” food, was my cousin’s laptop. With a bright green and red website sponsored by OfficeMax, Elfyouself.com, my cousin uploaded our entire family album onto the website and made us all dancing elves.

I had never seen something so hysterical in my life. YouTube videos get old and tiresome, but watching my grandfather dance as an elf does not.

On Thanksgiving at my family gathering, things got crazy while preparing all the food and desserts and making sure everyone had enough to eat. Seeing each of us dance to different genres of music helped my family relax and enjoy the holiday in a new way. We usually do things a little out of the ordinary, but how many people spend Thanksgiving making their family members into elves? Not many.

It was definitely a fun time and the fun today still continues. I just made my mom into an Elf. She isn’t too happy, but it is quite entertaining!
